Is the Smart Guide useful? Does anyone actually use it? If yes, what for?

No, the smart guide is okay and helps me to stay to 2 minutes but it really is just another gadget that can justify the company for charging more. Because I got a good deal on it, I didn't mind that it came with it, but you definitely don't need it.

I use it for a travel clock. It is useful if you need to know if you're using too much pressure while brushing because it gives you an indication light on the Smart Guide. It's a preference, but nice to have

I updated it to load the latest info. I guess it may work as long as you use the original outdated info and software and never allow it to update.

I would not count on SmartThings for anything mission-critical like this. They've been having trouble keeping their online services up and running lately, and they *will* let you down. My devices have been completely unreliable over the last two weeks. As far as I am concerned, this is purely a hobby thing and a placeholder until a company that has it's act together comes along and makes a Z-wave control that actually works (Nest buying Revolv suggests that this may finally be coming, but no eta).

Please let me know what you think of it once you've tried it out. (It's encouraging to hear Tony used it.) Also, I'd like to know what equipment I need to use in conjunction- I don't have my own smartboard in my classroom and I'm not sure if I can borrow one long-term! But if I can just hook it up to my computer and project it on a screen, I think I'm good to go! -I look forward to hearing from you!

No. It's only good for free lifetime map updates. You'll have to get the next one up that gives you traffic updates.

It does have a guide. It only shows you what currently showing and what will be shown in the next hour.

yes, i've used it numerous times. getting the right setting is a trial and error process though.

I try and use it, though it requires some more discipline from the person wearing the band than the step/sleep tracker. The barcode scanner works great IF nutrition info is available. I've found packaged items like wraps and salads from grocery stores don't always have the information. It's tough to always match food from a restaurant to what's in the existing library. It is a good feature, but keeping up with it requires you to do a little more work.

Before buying anything Insteon, go to Smarthome.com and look up the product. in the product description will be links to both the quick start guide and the detailed manual. Open up the detailed manual. Smarthome is awesome about providing great technical details in their manuals and have posted manuals for just about every product. if that doesn't work for you, their online chat is up most of the daylight hours and they also have a live support phone number (not sure of the hours). these guys are great, give them a shot.

I found it very useful. I have my tv, dvd, amp and directv on it. If it doesn't have a code for your tv you can look on the internet, and then you can learn most of the codes if no codes work.

Z. Duncan, For updating to the latest Smart Hub platform, you may want to consider purchasing this. But it's not required. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

Not yet, I checked their website only a few weeks ago. I use windows on a bootcamp partition for a couple of my applications and adding the Smarty software has been a small adaptation.

I love this TV. It was a purchase of a lifetime for me. However, I NEVER could get the guide working properly. My cable system has it's own guide system, but sometime, I just want to watch just the TV, and use their guide. It keeps telling me that the guide is downloading overnight, but the next day, there is still NO guide information on the screen. If you got yours working, please tell me how you did it. Thanks "Emil"

MANUFACTURER'S REPLY: Thanks for asking! In a word, yes, our dock does support SMART- however results *will* vary depending on what software you're using for SMART monitoring. Many/most software does *not* support SMART over USB. One solution that does- and is free- is CrystalDisk Info. Note that I recommend doing a custom install and not adding the search toolbar packaged with CDI.

No. To be honest it wasn't much help. I stopped using it a couple of days after I received it.

Good website. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I will probably go with the first one an get the software if needed. good advice. The new one looks pretty, gut I don't spend money if there isn't enough upgrade to justify the added espense.
